Scale has taken on a completely new meaning for me. In my training and early career, scale referred to a conversion measurement indicating a comparison between a measurement on a paper map and a measurement in the real world. The big 'thing' about GIS was that it was scale-less; you could zoom in as much as you wanted and the map changes accordingly, amazing!
